Hi all, I wrote an essay pulbished in the Gargoyle about what the old norse god Óðinn might have to do with queer representation. Loki is there too!

why would you have a magazine & then have it only accessible via scribd. not going to read that, thanks

@solarpunkgnome Flour, but make it non-vegan

@solarpunkgnome "Pulling on small threads."
I think this is a really good point and actually the core of any realistic and believable story. Good things are very rarely windfalls or Deus Ex Machinas. They are usually the result of lots of unseen, unappreciated hard work.

Even stories that have characters with just insane luck/destiny's favor/superpowers still have to build up these abilities and these realities over time to be convincing. Even a steel suspension cable is made of threads.

@InvaderXan So, uhh, we'll gladly hope for internet sentience. It'll be one powerful ally to those that support life and prosperity in all forms -- regardless of whether the life is made of carbon or silicon.

@solarpunkgnome I'm bad at it myself sometimes. Especially since I was gaslighted. This was a reminder to myself as well!

And you're welcome, ofc!

This is your friendly reminder that it's ok to ask for help when you need it.

fedi I hate ebegging but as y'all know my car got hit by a truck and I am now left without a vehicle.

is there any way y'all can help me get $500 so I can buy a Volvo S60 for $2K? My friend offered to cover $1.5K as long as I pay her back when I get a job, I need a car so I can get a job here in the charleston area so any help would be great.

Hey yall, putting the call out again for face masks.

We've got quite a few that we've been making, and can send within the US to anyone who would like them. Preferably folks who need them first.

Sending two in a pack, no cost. DM me for details!

A distinction should be made between "hard work" which is just a glorification of exploitation and suffering, and the position many BIPOC, working class, and poor people are forced into by the white supremacist state.

To say the working class and the poor "work hard" is to fall into the same myth the middle class giddily spout: that hard work is a blessing in disguise.

We also need to stop with the glorification of manual labor. Workers deserve to own the means of production, not because they "earned it" but because it's theirs to begin with.
